Mark,we are agreeing way too much this week. I completely concur with you on this one, but would take it one step further: I would like to see Senators from both sides of the aisle ask Sotomayor where she stands on the scope of executive authority in general, in wartime, and as it applies to fiscal policy, but particularly to emegency actions in time of economic upheaval. I think it's safe to expect Sotomayor to try to avoid giving any straight answers on this (Roberts and Alito certainly did), but I would like to see her take on this.
